Germany news: Cabinet discusses 2027 budget plans as Iran war threatens finances
On April 29, 2026, Germany’s Cabinet approved key components of its 2027 budget—encompassing nearly €200 billion in borrowing, including special funds for defense and climate projects—and finalized statutory health insurance reforms aimed at closing a €15.3 billion deficit. Concurrently, economic pressures from the Iran war were evident in rising inflation (2.9% in April), intensified job cuts, and low employment confidence, alongside other developments such as raids on the Hells Angels Leverkusen chapter, the arrest of a Kazakh national on espionage charges, and proposals for new taxes on sugary drinks, alcohol, and tobacco.
